Blog | Power Flushing By The Power Flushing Experts

The first and most obvious step for flushing your central heating system is figuring out what type of problem you have in the first place. Or more precisely what type of blockage you have in your central heating.

The most common type of blockage is the physical type where deposits of dirt and debris eventually turn into a type of sludge that gathers at the bottom of your radiators. As these deposits grow in size you’ll eventually wind up with a radiator that’s so badly clogged that water can’t circulate through it anymore and the radiator itself becomes pretty much useless.

Then you have the issue of lime scale build up inside your radiators and boilers. Given enough time these will also cause your radiators to stop working but might also cause additional problems with your boiler because of the corrosive effects that lime scale can have on metal.

Once ADI engineers understand what the actual cause of the problem is then the next step is the actual flushing itself. This involves several pieces of equipment that are used to push a stream of low pressure and high velocity water through your entire heating system, including your radiators, to remove all traces of sludge or lime scale and to treat your water supply against further problems like this arising.

You spend money each year on having your car or motorbike serviced. You have your computer serviced to make sure it keeps working properly. You might even have somebody maintain the outside of your property like your gutters or garden to make sure they’re always in good working order too.

But the question here is when did you last have your central heating serviced? Or a more likely question to receive a far more honest answer would be “Have you ever, ever had your central heating system serviced?”

For most people they know they should be doing this. They know their gas boiler should be serviced once per year to correct any problems and prevent high gas bills that could be easily preventable through proper servicing. An integral part of any central heating service should be a thorough purging of your heating pipes and radiators through a process called powerflushing and this should be performed at least every 2 – 5 years but possibly more often if you live in an area that has issues with lime scale/hard water in the supply.

You’re suspicious that there is something wrong with your central heating system and to be honest if the system is more than a few years old it probably does need at least some maintenance to eliminate any existing or potential problems inside it.

One of the more common problems with a central heating system is the issue of air getting trapped inside it. How can you tell if your central heating system has air trapped in some part of it? Well just like a human being with trapped wind the first sign of trapped air (or what’s called an air lock) in your heating system is that you’re going to hear a lot of noise – especially when you’re turning on the central heating system for the first time each day.

A trapped air pocket can cause banging noises to occur when your heating is being turned on and you’ll probably also notice similar types of noises when the system switches itself off again afterwards.

Another sign of there being at least some air trapped inside your heating system is the appearance of cold spots on the upper parts of your radiators – air is most likely to gather in this part the radiator because gas rises.

There’s never a good time of the year for a problem to crop up with your central heating system but with the types of winters we’ve been having here lately you’re going to need to be able to rely on your central heating from August right through to March of each year for at least the next 10 years or so – current predictions are that we’re entering a mini ice age that will last for somewhere around 10 years.

So having heating that works properly is going to be essential right through the year so if you’ve spotted that that one or more of your radiators has stopped working then now is the time to take action before anything else goes wrong.

There are two types of issues that can happen with a radiator that could make you think of replacing it and they’re both blockages. The first is that some air has gotten trapped inside the rad and is stopping it from heating in its upper portion. ADI can resolve air locks for you.

The second is that your radiator has gotten blocked by a kind of sludge that prevents it from heating the lower part of the radiator. This type of sludge can be removed by ADI using a process called powerflushing.

Either way if you’re having problems with your radiators or any other part of your heating system then call ADI today.

The first step in performing proper central heating maintenance is awareness – the more attention you pay to potential problems with your heating system the more money you can save yourself down the road. If you notice or even suspect that something is wrong within your heating system then take action now to have the problem investigated – not in 3 or 4 months time.

So being aware is the main key to helping save yourself a lot of heartache and money later on.

The next step in keeping your boiler and central heating system in top shape is to only ever hire professional engineers to work on it. Picking the first number you find isn’t necessarily the right company to call (except of course if you found ADIs number!) because any company can promise you excellent service, great prices and a professional team of people. The problem is that very few companies can deliver on some or any of those promises.

When you’re dealing with ADI you’re dealing with a company with well over a decades worth of experience in the powerflushing and plumbing trade so you can rely on our engineers in the same way that our thousands of previous and satisfied customers have.

Regardless of the type of central heating system you have there are two basic types of blockages that can happen. The first is caused by a build up of a type of sludge that gathers in the bottom of your radiators. You can test for this pretty quickly by turning your heating system on and checking for cold spots in the lower part of your radiators – this sludge settles so you can expect these cold spots to be a direct indication of a blockage on that part of your radiator system.

The second type of blockage tat can crop up is trapped air inside the system. Now this should all have been bled when the system was first installed and most modern heating systems have a type of valve that allows the system to bleed this air off itself but sometimes that isn’t enough. How can you tell if you have an air lock in your heating system? Noise is usually the first give away and you can expect lots of it – especially banging noises when the heating is first turned on.

Alternatively if you check the upper portion of your radiators when your heating is on you might find cold patches there which are also a direct indication of air being trapped inside.

ADI Powerflushing can quickly and efficiently remove either of these types of blockages for you – why not call us today to find out more?

There are two potential types of blockage that can occur inside both modern and older central heating systems. The first of these is a type of sludge which is an accumulation of all the grit and grime that flows through your radiators each day and eventually settles inside them. These deposits will result in cold spots or patches on the underside of your radiator units right across your property.

The second type of blockage is an air block or air lock that can appear in any central heating system also. The first indication that there might be air inside your central heating system is that you’ll suddenly start hearing some pretty weird noises and bangs from the system as it’s switched on. The “bangs” are the air trapped in the system being forced through a pipe and for want of a better description this is like your central heating system burping – it’s trapped wind causing the problem.

To remove the air from any heating system it will need to be “bled” to remove it and although you can try doing this yourself it’s better and safe to call in heating and plumbing specialists like the team at ADI.

A central heating system has mechanical parts in it and eventually some of these parts are going to need to be replaced and the more often your central heating system is in use then the more often you need to have it serviced by a qualified heating specialist. If you’re using a gas boiler it should be serviced at least once per year and especially before the summer is over – you may find it hard to hire the services of a heating engineer in November or December for example.

An integral part of any central heating service routine should be having your entire heating system powerflushed so that any deposits that have built up in the last few months or years are safely removed and your central heating system can go back to working the way it did before. Powerflushing simply washes away the gunk that builds up inside your central heating system over time and ADI Powerflushing are experts at performing this procedure safely and with as little mess as is humanly possible.

So if your central heating system is long overdue a service then do both it and yourself a huge favour by call ADI today.

If you’ve noticed a sudden change in your boiler pressure either when using your central heating or when the showers or taps are used in your home it can indicated a number of problems. The first of these is that there’s a leak somewhere along the circuit of your central heating and you’ll need to try and track this down which can be difficult because the leak problem might be inside a wall or underneath the ground.

The other possibility is that your boiler is actually faulty and will need to be completely replaced. There have been cases in recent years where an entire production run of boilers were shipped with existing problems that don’t become obvious until they’re installed and connected to the central heating pump.

Finding the source of the pressure drop, be it a leak or a fault in your boiler, can be a tricky business and is best left in the expert hands of ADI Powerflushing because our engineers are trained to work on any heating or plumbing problem of any size anywhere on your property – it’s all just part of the complete care service that we’re proud to offer each one of our customers.

There are lots of steps you can take yourself to help diagnose a central heating fault at home. Now diagnosing or finding the fault is one thing and then repairing it is another matter entirely. Not even the best DIY guys will have the types of equipment that we have here at ADI for dealing with problematic central heating systems – the cost is simply far, far too high for the average home owner.

So what can you do to help track down the source of the problem in your central heating? Well first off eliminate user error – has the wall panel, thermostat or timer been fiddled with by somebody? If so then you need to look at how to reset the heating system. Or what about the pilot light in the gas boiler itself – have you checked to see if that’s still lit or not?

Assuming that your boiler is actually getting a supply of water and it’s being heated then you need to look at your radiators for cold spots – this can indicated a blockage inside them. If your radiators do have some cold patches this can also indicate that there are blockages elsewhere in your central heating system too. For most customers the best advice we can give on most central heating problems is to simply have your entire system powerflushed by our engineers – it just saves an awful lot of messing about.
